Speaker 2:
Wow, this person's like a friggin' super fan. Okay, let's read it. Scott Bors reads five star reviews From Steel Aviator.

Don't ever do this again, mr Steel Aviator. He's ground crew. I know who this is.
Speaker 2:
Oh is he yeah Good guy.
Speaker 1:
He's got he's very long, long review here. Mr Steel, I got to take some deep breaths. This is a great last name.
Speaker 2:
Do you want my inhaler?
Speaker 1:
It's a little bit needed, because I'm going to be out of breath by the end of this one. Keep up the terrific podcast. Thank you, Rob Lee and Scott, for such an entertaining and informative podcast. You deserve five stars. I have enjoyed listening to your series since I found it several months ago. Each episode makes me feel like I'm hanging out at a bar with three veteran pilots. Oh my God.
Speaker 2:
So we're going for it. That's what we're going for, wow.
Speaker 1:
You share very interesting and hilarious stories. I started flying in May 2020 and I earned my private pilot's license in January 21. I'm working towards my instrument rating now, with a total of 120 hours. I fly out of St Pete, Clearwater. Shout out to the.
Speaker 2:
Floorwater.
Speaker 1:
K-P-I-E is a class Delta airport. You're a Muff Scott. Yeah, you don't want to fly out of class Delta. That sucks, scary stuff. I feel bad for you. All of my hours are in a 78 Piper Archer. Well, it's got a design flaw, but I guess it's fine.
Speaker 1:
If you're going to gamble with your life, go for it. Go, piper. As a new pilot, I have such a limited scope in aviation, but your podcast has helped me to expand my knowledge. Now, when I'm hanging around the airport, I feel like I have something to contribute in a conversation between much more seasoned pilots than myself. I value your insight and am thankful that you plan to continue the podcast. I do most of my listening while driving in my car. My wife and two teenage daughters also enjoy listening to your stories of the good old days.
Speaker 2:
Wow, that's an endorsement. That's an endorsement. Right there Is two teenage daughters. What kind of sociopath would you have a teenage daughter? She would not enjoy it.
Speaker 1:
If you weren't in it and you were listening to the show, would your teenage daughter? No, she would yell at us and say I mean, unless you're into flying.
Speaker 2:
Would you want to listen to a running podcast? Would you be enthralled?
Speaker 1:
by it. Maybe his daughters are into aviation, it's possible.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, but still.
Speaker 1:
Your teenage daughter's not? No, I mean, she's not like.
Speaker 2:
Definitely not the technical side, yeah no. She likes.
Speaker 1:
Instagram photos. Next to the point.
Speaker 2:
No, she's more into boats.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, okay, anyway, back on the field. Let me raise a cold frosted mug of show prep to toast the three of you. Cheers to Rob for being the podcast chairman and editor, cheers to Lee for being the attending physician of aviation and cheers to Scott for being the chief resident jester. Scott, scott, has anyone seen? Scott? Well done, gents, respectfully.
Speaker 2:
Brian Steele.
Speaker 1:
PS, I am only on episode 41 and I am listening to podcast series and order, so it will take me several weeks to catch up to your current episode of note. I listened to your show via Amazon Audible Woohoo, Interesting Thanks. Thank you, Mr Steele. He's on the pilot ground. Crunk, crunk. He's got some good stuff on there.
